- Hi Everyone! I will admit I've gone pretty quiet here on BlueSky. I've been VERY active on Threads @deanrand trying to "rally the troops" to do whatever they can to stop the fall into fascism here in the U.S. I hope to reengage more deeply on climate matters once we get through this (if we do.)
- The countries that invest the most in #AI are likely going to run into some major wealth and income disparity problems moving forward.
- Awesome news here. We as a species may want to move away from an extraction-based economy posthaste. We're on a dead end path (literally).
- I've been saying all along: the only problems with the Tesla robotaxi systems are the hardware and the software. Other than that ... www.msn.com/en-us/money/...
- Most likely outcome of #AI development -- far more of us get poorer with a few of us getting far richer. Governments around the world should be looking hard at how this tech benefits/hurts their citizens and setting guidelines/procedures/limits as of yesterday. #Artificialintelligence
- Pre-market #Tesla stock up $7 after announcing huge $29 billion stock compensation gift to the muskrat. I would argue this is horribly bad news for the company -- it needs to remove the muskrat infestation rather than entrench it: www.tipranks.com/news/tesla-s...
- #Uber is picking winners in the #robotaxi race, and none of them are named #Tesla: insideevs.com/news/766132/...
- There is only one reason you would vote to seal the #Epstein files, and it sure as hell isn't to protect the interest and safety of the citizens. We truly cannot allow the United States to become a government "by the pedophile, for the pedophile."
- If we as a species had any brains, we'd put a global moratorium on AI development until we have a plan to do it in a way that doesn't require the use of any fossil fuels to power it, due to the risks of further accelerating the climate crisis. But, we as a species don't have any brains.
- IMHO, the only problem with the Tesla robotaxi is the hardware and the software. Other than that ... www.cnbc.com/2025/06/27/w...
- The muskrat, in desperation, rushed his #robotaxis to Austin (in a geofenced area with copilots in the passenger seat and a remote human operator in case the software didn't work right -- not really "robo" at all). And today, we saw a video of how it still didn't work right (and was dangerous).

- While we continue to ignore the #climate here in the U.S., this wonderful news gets added to our list of "Oh, crap." www.cnn.com/2025/05/24/c...
- Every day, I am utterly blown away by the increasing levels of open-faced corruption and criminality of this regime, but I am even more floored by the apparent apathy of the average American. Hard to say we don’t deserve this. I just hope the rest of the world avoids the same fate.
- The good news just keeps coming: China sales down again, with BYD dominating the Chinese market now (better on both price and quality -- that's hard to beat!) US and European sales cratering #Tesla. www.tipranks.com/news/tesla-t...
- I did a pretty detailed commentary on Tesla’s big earnings miss yesterday and what I see as the insane reaction by Wall Street today to this news on Threads — I want what they are smoking because it must be good: www.threads.net/@deanrand/po...
- HUGE #Tesla miss on earnings -- and I can't see things improving in the future, because many of the sales in 1Q probably happened in January. I'm betting they trended downward even more in Feb/March due to his overt actions and behavior. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/22/t...
- Defying a 9-0 Supreme Court order. Denying due process through a "kidnapping and shipping overseas technicality". Discussing multiple overseas "prisons" for "homegrowns" -- he says just for "violent criminal" citizens right now, but the goalposts keep moving. #RuleofLaw #DueProcess
- This is the exact moment we are at in the #tariff trade war. Biff is the United States.
- I really, truly, deeply hope the rest of the world keeps moving full steam ahead (excuse the pun) on #Climate mitigation and solutions. The United States has (hopefully temporarily) lost its mind, but at some point, it will even acknowledge the problem and work for a solution.

- Well, a stock market crash and following deep #recession or depression will likely reduce greenhouse gas emissions, since no one will be driving to go to work anymore. There is that. #Climate #climatecrisis SMDH
